In 2006 I was hired by the United Nations Country Unit in Tajikistan to produce their annual fundraising document, Moving Mountains. It was a logistical and co-ordination challenge involving a limited communications infrastructure, 20 agencies, dozens of individual projects and an extremely tight time frame.

I put in two 80-hour weeks meeting with stakeholders in Dushanbe and then pulled together team members from six countries. We were able to control production costs, which ensured creation of a Russian-language version of the appeal. The project took a total of 625 hours.

In 2010 I coordinated a donation of service by Beyond Reports staffers for the United Nations system as a whole. Soliciting a donation of 200 books from a publisher, we then collaborated with the author to rework the existing press material into something more effective and attractive.

Five members of the Beyond Reports team from three countries donated writing, editing, translation, design, layout and production-coordination time in order to pull together this project. We then worked with the UN’s coordination office to get a copy of the book to each UN resident representative in 135 countries and to the heads of 32 agencies worldwide, as well as a special Korean-language version of the press material to the United Nation’s Secretary-General. The project took a total of 45 hours.

In 2008 I was hired by the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Nepal to create a plan that would use their country team website to its fullest potential while making suggestions for best practices in design and creation for the site redesign.

I put in seven weeks meeting with stakeholders in Kathmandu and then pulled together team members from five countries. Our final report contains key recommendations as well as design samples for the country team to follow. The project took over 800 hours.
